Gas dock attendant tipping

I usualy tip a dollar or two. I can afford it and it's worth it to see their eyes light up.

Like Cap. Zip, I tip depending on level of service,
helping with lines, fill up, pumpout, conversation = $10
no help with lines, fill up, no pumpout, no conversation = $0
They are mostly college kids paying for school, at least there working and not taking the summers off to party!
Its also amazing to me the quailty and level of service that differs from marina to marina. Lakeport is not only the least expensive but by far the nicest. Channel, Anchor, Meredith, personal are also very helpful. Thurstons is at the bottom of my list along with Trexlers, and the station in Wolfeboro, they seem to never help, and are aggravated that I'm even there. I manage a business and am very attentive on the customer service that my employees provide.
